    other and treating each other makes them lose respect for one and another. This is seen in celebration that the main characters Eric and Mabel are always in some sort of dispute yet love each other. Their behaviour doesn’t let them make a place in their heart. This is logical when Eric says “lousy bitch” and Mabel says “I don’t have anywhere else to go.” It is seen that Eric feels all alone in the world‚ that’s because of his way of act towards Mabel and her response.

    Columbus Day should be abolished because he was not the first explorer to arrive in the Americas. Many explorers before him landed there‚ but he was the first to conquer the native people and either enslave or kill them. In document 2‚ Online Petition‚ it states that the American Indians had already been living there for around 10‚000 years. Even if Columbus was the first to arrive in the Americas‚ he was not the discoverer. To say Columbus is entirely falsely praised would be stubborn and incorrect

    Christopher Columbus in this film was very inaccurate as far as what he brought to the so-called "New World". The film displayed Columbus as the first person to locate America and to cross the Atlantic Ocean but as history shows others had accomplished this years before he did.
